Form & Verdict
Launched handicap career with three good-ground wins last spring (2m1f-2m5f) and was placed on her next two outings (2m4f/2m5f, good); could still have more to offer over 3m but we haven't seen her since a disappointing run here in November; had wind op in January.

Fairly useful mare who has Listed form but was never going well en route to a modest third at Ascot (2m5f) when back from a layoff last time; will need to travel better in this competitive affair.

Progressive last spring, including 3m/3m2f wins, and good second in Kempton Listed race (2m5f) in November; nearly always races on officially good ground nowadays, so good to soft may excuse a heavy defeat in December when last seen; needs to resume her progress, though, given the career-high mark.

Returned from wind op with small-field 3m win in March and bettered that form when close second on both outings last month (2m4f/2m7f, also on good ground); major player if this new trip suits.

Form & Verdict
2-8 over hurdles; ran in snatches and was below form at Kempton over Christmas but landed a good prize here (2m5f, good) in November and should be fine over today's longer trip; obvious contender if back on song.

OR: 109

Form & Verdict
Won 2m3f Bangor maiden on good ground last summer and, following a six-month absence, looked very well suited by the step up in trip when close/clear second to a next-time-out winner over C&D (soft; first-time tongue-tie) on handicap debut in February; went up 6lb for that but she still has strong claims today.
